LA MADURASaint Chinian ​Certified High Environmental Value

Domaine LA MADURA is a small wine estate in the Saint-Chinian appellation that has something of a patchwork quality due to the great diversity of its soils, grape varieties, altitude and microclimates. It is this diversity that is one of the estate's great assets.

Nadia and Cyril BOURGNE were convinced of the high quality of the Domaine terroirs and left Bordeaux in 1999 to come and exploit their potential.​Domaine La Madura is broken up into a series of small plots, which is typical of the estates in the Languedoc. They are fascinating for the great variety of "terroirs", i.e. combinations of soil types, grape varieties and microclimates. The landscape, too, plays a crucial role. Altitude varies considerably from one plot to another (150 to 300 metres).

The vines are worked with a constant concern to care for and improve the environment by building in the various related parameters. This approach is “Haute Valeur Environnementale” certified (HVE = High Environmental Value).
